DEAR News Of The Area,

POLLIES love concrete announceables, particularly with an election coming, so it was no surprise to hear about the stupid “storytelling” area planned for the Dorrigo National Park.

This is meant to be a World Heritage area, not a theme park, and it needs no more concreting over.

The planned stupidity would be used, if at all, for less than one percent of the time, and the rest of the time would require maintenance money.

Money better spent on the real but less visible issues like weeds, fire and feral animal management.

Mark Graham, as usual, speaks sense about the Gondwana farrago being intended to distract us from real issues like ongoing logging of public native forests at a daily loss to the taxpayer
and koalas.

Regards,
Dr Howard DENGATE,
Safety Beach.
